Abstract: A graphics display system is provided with the ability to use multiple memory buffers to produce images with a wide range of colours through bit plane encoding or to present indeplendent applications displays or combine display images through the use of lateral bit encoding. When operated in the lateral bit encoded state, application programs can be associated with independent memory buffers or an application can use the separate buffers to create a display with animation or apparent movement. Each memory buffer can be independently associated with the display device or the images contained in the memory buffers can be mixed through the use of hardware of software image mixing to create a composite display. The combined image is used to directly control the display device and does not require the creation of an intermediate frame buffer image. This display system provides the capability for animation or image movement through the designation of one or more planes to contain the objects and the designation of display priority among the memory buffers. The image mixer combines the images according to the established display priority so that portions of the highest priority image are always displayed. the images in the memory buffers may, alternatively, be linked to create a single large image which can be scrolled across the display monitor. A method for image mixing and for displaying objects with apparent motion is provided through the use of the multiple memory buffers and display priority assignment.

Abstract: When a light beam (212) of a reference optical head (20) correctly tracks on the center of a proper track, deviation, due to an optical head assembling error or an optical disk eccentricity, of a light beam of a non-reference optical head (10) from the center of said proper track is memorized in advance as bias information. At a time of a seek control or a track jump control, the non-reference optical head (20) is controlled to move along a track with said bias information, so that not only the reference optical head (20) but also the non-reference optical head (10) correctly track on the proper aimed track, when a seek control or a track jump control is performed. This invention enables both the light beam of the reference optical head and the light beam of the non-reference optical head to correctly track on a proper track without being affected by neither any optical head assembling error nor any optical disk eccentricity.

Abstract: Errors in a sampled data process are discerned statistically throughout the process, permitting their efficient removal. An exemplary application is a subranging analog-to-digital converter (ADC) (10), in which errors associated with component digital-to-analog (DAC) current sources (28. 30. 32) are discerned and corrected automatically during the circuit's normal operation. This is achieved by continually introducing a random signal into the process, statistically examining the DAC output signal to discern error terms, and correlating the occurrences of these errors with the values of the random signal applied to the DACs so as to identity the current sources to which the error terms are due. The resulting ADC output signal is compensated to remove the random signal and is further compensated to remove the DAC error terms discerned by this statistical analysis. The effect of any errors that may remain due to imperfect quantification of the DAC error terms is minimized due to their randomization, permitting the removal of these error terms by averaging techniques.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for accurate digital determination of the time or phase position of a signal pulse train in relation to a fixed time or frequency reference. The arrangement generates and produces directly on the output a digital word corresponding to the measuring value current at that time. 
     The pulse train is compared in a plurality of EXCLUSIVE-OR gates (OR0-OR3) with a number of reference clock signals (RCL0-RCL3) which are mutually displaced in time. There is produced on the output of each gate a signal (MS0-MS3) which is dependent on the input signals of the gates with respect to frequency and pulse ratio. The output signals from the gates are sent to a comparison circuit (CO) in which a MIN of MAX operation is carried out, the pulse ratio of the output signals (MS0-MS3) being compared and the output signal which lies nearest to a predetermined pulse-ratio value being subjected to analogue/digital conversion in a converter (AD). The pulse train, in digital form, is thereafter code-converted in a code converter (CC) together with the three most significant bits taken from the pulse train prior to the AD-­conversion process. The thus produced binary code can be correc­ted for systematic deviations resulting from frequency differences between the frequency, reference frequency and/or sampling frequency of the pulse train, by the addition/subtraction of a predetermined numeric sequence.
